URGENT UPDATE: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the termination of the 2021 Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designation for Venezuela, effective at 11:59 p.m. on November 7, 2025.
Recent changes to Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans have created uncertainty, particularly with the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on May 19, 2025, allowing the termination of the 2023 designation. This impacts approximately 350,000 Venezuelans, potentially leading to loss of legal status and work authorization. Given the complexity, it is advisable to seek legal advice. In Miami Beach, Immigration Lawyers Joshua Begin and Karyn Begin can provide guidance on TPS for Venezuelans and other immigration matters.
STOP! It is more important than ever to seek advice from a qualified immigration attorney or an accredited representative about your specific situation. BE PATIENT and take the time to find the right help. The wrong advice could harm your chances of staying in the United States, getting lawful status, or becoming a U.S. citizen. DON’T BE FOOLED by notarios, consultants, or immigration scams promising immediate results or special solutions in order to steal your money. Many unscrupulous notarios cost more than licensed attorneys! If you are unsure if someone is qualified to help, ask for proof of their credentials, and retain a copy of that evidence. DON’T USE notaries or paralegals. There is no licensing for paralegals (notarios) to give advice on legal cases and the steps to take or forms to fill out. They may only act as a secretary to type into a form the information that you provide. They do not hold degrees, licenses or certifications. It is the same as asking your family friend to google information online and filling out a form. Don't risk your family's future, heartaches, time lost, incorrect applications or denials to the unlicensed practice of law.
